Truce on the cards? Kanye West has reached out to bury the hatchet with frenemy Jay Z according to a report on Saturday

Kanye’s people feel Jay should ‘cut him some slack’ because Kanye wasn’t in his right mind when he went on a rant about the rapper in November.

The Fade rapper went off on Jay in an epic rant, telling him to ‘call me like a man’ during a concert in November shortly before his hospitalization for a mental health breakdown.

The source tells TMZ that the duo seem to be reconciling and that they have a classic love/hate relationship.

The duo are also reportedly on the verge of working out their Tidal financial issue.

Jay recently opened up about his feud with Kanye, admitting that he now has a ‘real, real problem’ with the rapper after he made public references about his wife Beyoncé and their children.

‘You can’t bring my kids and my wife into it,’ the rapper, 47, said in a chat with Rap Radar’s Elliott Wilson and Brian ‘B.Dot’ Miller released last month.

The rapper opened up about the topic of of his tense relationship with Kanye, 40, in a short minute-long clip released on TMZ the same day.

‘We’ve gotten past bigger issues but you brought my family into it – that’s a problem with me, that’s a real, real problem.’

Jay said he knows that Kanye ‘knows that he crossed the line’ and is keenly tuned to how big the rift has grown between them.

‘We’ve never let this much space go between one of our disagreements and we’ve had many, it’s part of who we are, that’s what I liked about him, he’s this honest person, he’ll say things – and he’s wrong a lot of times – and we’ll confront it.’

The 99 Problems hit-maker’s words were in reference to Kanye’s onstage remarks during a now infamous concert November 19 at the Golden 1 Center in Sacramento on his Saint Pablo Tour, that ended abruptly after the artist walked offstage.

On the stage, West – who was hospitalized in Los Angeles days after his rant amid a breakdown – admitted he had issues with the musical super couple.

He said in the show, ‘Beyonce, I was hurt because I heard that you said you wouldn’t perform unless you won Video of the Year over me and over ‘Hotline Bling’ … sometimes we be playing the politics too much and forget who we are just to win.

Kanye sniped at Brooklyn’s prodigal son in his rant, saying, ‘Jay-Z, call me, bruh. You still ain’t called me. Jay-Z, I know you got killers. Please don’t send them at my head. Please call me. Talk to me like a man.’

West had referenced Blue Ivy during his concert at Key Arena in Seattle in October, grousing that Jay-Z hadn’t called him in the wake of his wife Kim Kardashian being robbed at gunpoint in Paris earlier that month.

He said, ‘Don’t call me, after the robbery, and say, “How you feelin?” You wanna know how I’m feelin? Come by the house.

‘Bring the kids by the house like we’re brothers. Let’s sit down. I can’t take this s— bro. Our kids have never even played together.’

The Grammy-winner’s answers came after he was asked about his track Kill Jay Z, which many perceived to be a Kanye diss track – which Jay-Z claimed it was not – but more of an introspective song in which he’s ‘talking to [himself] the whole time.’

Another cause of tension between the duo was apparently down to Kanye being owed money by streaming service Tidal, owned by Jay Z.

According to multiple sources, at the heart of the issue is money Kanye’s team claims Tidal owes him for marketing efforts, including video production, as well as a bonus for subscriber thresholds met as was agreed upon ahead of the release of West’s February 2016 album, The Life of Pablo.

It’s reported that the rapper’s attorneys fired off several letters demanding he get paid approximately the $3 million owed.
